Ever number has a name. Every name has a story. Every story matters to God

Justin Willoughby

Kim Benton

If you've met Jesus, you've got a story to share. Stories are about change, and Jesus is all about changing lives.

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the idea of sharing your story. Perhaps you've told yourself "it's not exciting enough" or "it's too complicated." The truth is sharing your story is as simple as telling people what God has done for you. That was the approach the apostle Paul used. In Acts 22 and Acts 26, Paul told his story in about 500 words — 2 to 3 minutes at normal speaking pace.

With a little preparation, your story can be a powerful way to give God the praise He deserves and to help others draw closer to Him.
